a 40 year old person experiencing homelessness has a similar risk of death as a 60 year old with health housing. >> and if you live, work or visit san francisco, you know that homelessness is one of the chronic issues facing the city. >> at abc7 news we cover the topic often because we are committed to finding solutions to help build a better bay area in one week. abc7 will host take action. san francisco one hour of direct questions and answers with mayor london breed police chief william scott and district attorney brooke jenkins about the city's prolonged problems and potential solutions. >> abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez is solely focused on building a better bay area reporting. she's one of the moderators of that town hall and is here with a look at what we can expect. >> yeah, i'm really looking forward to that. now it's not only about the homeless, but we will ask the city leaders about crime. the drug crisis and the economic recovery of san francisco specifically, of course, downtown. now, here are the struggles, those who live and work in the city are facing

every day. san francisco's problems can be summed up in four words all intricately connected. did drugs, crime, homeless illness and exodus as in the downtown area. let's start out with a drug crisis. according to the medical examiner from january to october 2023, there have been 692 accidental overdoses, yet convicting drug dealers has been a challenge. >> drug dealing has not been historically seen as something that's a serious crime, according to the da, there are more than 500 cases in bench warrant status. >> this means that people who have been arrested then released have not come back to court. >> people have to feel that there is a risk to their criminal behavior. and to the extent that they learn that they can be arrested over and over again and simply be released within 24 hours to go do it again, that's not teaching them anything. they believe they can get away with it and so they continue the behavior when it comes to all crimes, recent data

show that car break-ins and burglaries are down, but how much of that is because people are so frustrated they have stopped reporting them to police property? >> crime is typically does not have consequences as other types of crimes. >> chief william scott has spoken on several occasions to abc7 political insider phil matier on policing a city despite a drastic shortage of officers. so we have 1200 for the whole nine yards. >> it comes to about how many a day a shift out. >> we really are looking at approximately about 300 officers. >> what effect is that having on on on police? >> well, it's definitely it definitely is a strain to keep up with the calls for service. it's a strain to keep up with the demand of what our residents and community members want in the city. >> when it comes to the unhoused , the budget for the city department of homelessness and supportive housing in fiscal year 2023 was a whopping $672

million. yet on any given night, there are about 3400 people living in shelters and about 4400 on the streets. and so why is it so hard for san francisco to solve its homeless problem? so you would prefer to live out on the streets than get shelter? >> that's correct, ma'am. is it that bad? yes, it is. yes, it is. it's awful how they treat you like garbage or or is it like former mayor willie brown said the homeless issue is not designed to be solved. >> it is designed to be perpetuate. >> and we cannot continue to make homelessness the number one political issue issue in our city. and so that one politician is trying to solve it while another politic person who wants to take their place is actually trying to undercut them because the worse it gets, the better off their chances are. and so we need to have accountability from everyone. business closures downtown are also of great concern to the city.

lot of people, sandy, it's also very stressful time of year. >> it is a stressful time of year. dan i mean, not only people traveling, but you've got to get all those shopping done. last minute stuff and just running around. you can understand why people feel run down. i think if you plan early and you start earlier, perhaps you can at least avoid some of the stress with regards to shopping. but regarding travel, if you have to travel, you have to travel. >> the stress for me is always, how do i get the man who has everything? my dear buddy larry biel, a great christmas gift. that's always right. well do you feel stress at all in the holidays? in all seriousness, dan, the ferrari dealership is always open. >> last time i checked, i think we can get we can get over there after the news if you want. >> i actually was thinking about a three year cruise. >> oh, that's so nice of you. yes, but who? never mind what i was going to say is i just got back talking about stress. i just got back from thanksgiving in las vegas with 11 family members. oh, wow. whoa. i mean, i know you had fun, but was it

stressful just being together and organizing it and all that? >> was there stress? >> you obviously have not met my family, my extended family about the itinerary that you spent months planning, i'd like to change a few things. like all of it. >> you didn't even do the planning, larry. >> i know. i've told them i'm not reading any of your emails, so. >> but that is true whenever families are getting together. >> somebody's always not happy, disappointed with something, wants to do something else. it's very stressful. the people who plan these things to try to make everybody happy. >> yeah, you can't do it. but the sphere thumbs up on the sphere. everybody go to the sphere. definitely. >> it's beginning to look a lot like christmas at least at the white house. this year's decorations include nine eight, christmas trees, 15,000ft of ribbon, 350 candles and 34,000 ornaments. the theme magic, wonder and joy. the idea is to embrace your inner child this holiday season, especially this room reminds me of the

nutcracker with the oversize gift boxes, right? yeah. >> it's beautiful, actually. >> it's beautiful. >> i like it. >> i like that tradition. it's nice. you guys go all out and decorate your own homes. >> similar to this or in a different way. >> not as fancy as this, but definitely we our home is decked out. it's already ready. believe it or not. >> oh, my god. >> yeah, we worked on some of this stuff. so. kristin, it's. it looks amazing. dan and larry, i'm sure, on top of things, too. >> well, my wife, angela, she's really great about the holidays. i actually took out some stuff today to put up over the next couple of days. but i think the traditions are what's so nice about the holidays, regardless of what holiday we're talking about, keeping those consistent traditions makes them very special, i think. >> yeah, we used to do the elaborate, you know, tree and everything, and then the kids grew up a little bit and now it's basically just we just want money. you just want that money. bob humbug. the tinsel, the

tinsel was great, but. but i just complain a little bit about the cost of trees this year. >> venmo me have you gone yet? >> oh, we have, yeah. it's crazy. >> i'm sorry. i got a 6 to 7 footer and it was $90 and that was the cheapest place i went to. >> like, actually, you did pretty well. really >> i know. i went to three places. >> dan oh, you did all right. merriam-webster is out with its word of the year. the word is authentic. there's been a big increase in searches for the word this year, many due to stories about artificial intelligence, celebrity culture, identity and social media. the other top words of the year were deep fake coronation and dystopian, interesting choices. i think authentic in a lot of ways. people are sort of focused on authentic and maybe artificial intelligence. all the concern about it has something to do with it. larry you have any words pop in your mind? do you like the ones that they selected? >> doom loop came to came to the front of my in front of my mind it did, yes. riz that's sort of the slang for charisma. but you

know, on a more serious note, authenticity is going to be an enormous problem with i just there's this huge scandal going on right now with sports illustrated, which once used to be one of the most prestigious magazines put out. and it turns out it was discovered not only were they using ai to write the articles in c, but they made up like faces of actual people who were not people that were the ai. that's going to kill them. yeah, they're done. it's over. that's over. yeah that's the doom loop for them. yeah, that's true. >> all right. that's it for the ford entresto is the #1 heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems,

or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure.

and where there is a flaring activity going on at the chevron refinery, you can see it really well now as the night gets darker. chevron says it's being caused by a loss of power to a portion of the facility. the company says its employees are working quickly to minimize and stop the flaring. it has issued a level one warning which does mean there is no shelter in place or other action required at this point. and of course, we'll stay on that. >> with any luck, they'll get that sorted out before it goes any further. but in the meantime, one of the things you see in that beautiful helicopter shot is what a lovely evening it is outside. >> it really is. it's kind of chilly, but beautiful. sandhya absolutely. >> and dan and kristen, let's take a look at live doppler seven with the clear skies. it's going to be another cold night as we look at the wider picture here, there is a level one system offshore. it's going to

bring us some rain. so let me show you the computer animation. you will notice tomorrow night the showers start to move in and this pretty much continues through wednesday morning. your high temperatures tomorrow will range from the upper 50s to the upper 60s clouds on the increase on tuesday. and if you're planning looking ahead, we have another opportunity for rain on thursday. certainly some snow in the sierra later this week. and that opportunity for wet weather remains open in at least if you buy one of the computer models, the accuweather seven day forecast, it's the one tomorrow night and wednesday morning and then another level one for thursday. we'll go with a slight chance friday and saturday before things dry out. kristen and dan all right, thank you, sandhya. >> celebrating 100 years at the steinhart aquarium. you know, at the time, it was the wild, wild west. >> i think. like, no one knew. it was like everything was exotic, unique from the wild west to the modern research to lessons from the past

wheel of fortune than jeopardy, then ama and i will be with you for abc seven news at 11:00. >> the california academy of sciences, steinhart aquarium turned 100 this year. quite a milestone. >> and as the exhibit celebrates a century in san francisco, researchers are looking ahead to a new era of discovery and

drawing on lessons from the past. for the next 100 years. >> you know, at the time, it was the wild, wild west. i think like no one knew when librarian rebecca kim looks back over a century of history at the steinhart aquarium, she sees the kind of evolution an even charles darwin couldn't have dreamed of, starting with its birth in the roaring 20s as an aquatic attraction for crowds visiting the california academy of sciences. >> within a decade, the steinhardt's collection would expand and grow far more exotic. >> in 1934, the academy goes on an expedition to the galapagos and they do transport back fishes. we have these pictures that are amazing and they keep them alive and they bring them back on this yacht and depending on the director, like the kinds of animals that are featured, i'd sort of shift this would have been the only way for people to see these things. so it was like everything was exotic, unique. >> many count earl harold among the most colorful directors he helped introduce popular

animals, including butterball, an injured manatee rescued from a fish market. he was really into bringing in all all animals and especially marine mammals. >> so he had a soft spot for manatees, dolphins. he really wanted to draw people in by like seeing these animals. they would not have seen anywhere else. and over the decades, future directors like john mccosker would pique the public's interest in other creatures like great white sharks and the expanding world of ocean science . >> and from african penguins to tropical sea life, the aquarium collection continued to amaze visitors with new discoveries. a century's worth of aquatic discovery, to be exact. but now, as we look forward to the next 100 years, steinhardt's scientific mission could become even more critical as the world continues to confront the challenges brought on by climate change. >> and over the past, say, 50 years, zoos and aquariums have really pivoted from, you know, exotic creatures to being

conservation organizations. and for us, really the most critical conservation issue. what's paramount is climate change. bert sheppard is the senior director at steinhart. >> when he's not overseeing the aquarium, he's often conducting field research. we met him shortly after his return from an expedition documenting plastic pollution along coral reefs in the indian ocean. so we've actually done global surveys of plastics looking at the difference between shallow reefs and what we call a twilight zone reefs, which are coral reefs that are found about 200 to 500ft deep. and he points to other cutting edge restoration projects as a critical part of steinhardt's ongoing mission. the coral regeneration lab is one of the few in the country able to spawn living coral to potentially repair damaged reefs , while a separate seastar breeding program could someday help restore threatened species off the bay area coastline. still other research teams are working on restoring damaged kelp forests and more.

>> i think that's one of the strengths of the academy is we've got this world class aquarium with really talented, passionate people that are scientists that study genetics, that study taxonomy and systematics, the study of the ecology and the role of their target organisms. there's so much to learn still for librarian rebecca kim, it's a history that is still being written as she works to document one century of discovery that's now leading to another. >> also to remember the people that were here that helped build this place. i think that's like the fun part of my job a rich history and a bright future. >> it it sure is. and few folks at steinhart have actually experienced the centuries worth of history, except for the methusula. the 93 year old australian lungfish fish is believed to be the oldest living aquarium fish in the world fascinate dating 100 years. >> totally. what a neat sight to behold too. abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area streaming tv app and join us whenever you want wherever you are. that's
